Jabas had just been freed from the petrified state and seemed to be a little confused, but when he saw the familiar face in front of him, he subconsciously shouted, but he reacted immediately.
His last consciousness was in the ruins, but at that moment he felt that he had triggered some hidden dangerous mechanism. In the end, he subconsciously turned around and pushed Pok out, but he lost consciousness.
And now, he himself is awake, but what about Pork? Shouldn't he be safer and healthier than him? Why is he lying here without any reaction?
"Poke!" Jabas shouted again in disbelief.
But Pork had just been relieved of his petrified state by Bishop Ambril and comforted him, so it was abnormal for him to react now!
"Jabas, Pork is fine. If you keep shaking him, I can't guarantee that he will be fine again!"
Seeing Jabbas trying to shout again as if there was no one around, Shado couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him that there were other people here!
After Xia Duo made a sound, Jabbas woke up belatedly and didn't even bother to get up from the ground. He used his hands and feet to change the direction of his body. He followed the voice and knelt down in front of Xia Duo, crying:
"Lord, thank you for saving my life and that of Pork!"
At this moment, he understood in his heart that if it weren't for the lord, their father and son would have been buried in the ruins.
"Get up first. After all, you are my subjects. If something happens now, I will definitely save you. As long as you work well for me in the future, I guarantee that you will all have a bright future!"
Jabas was even more moved by Xia Duo's words, and for the first time he had the idea of not regretting coming to Daxia Territory. Ordinary lords would not care so much about the people of the territory.
Of course, it will not oppress the people too much.
But Jabas had never seen someone like Lord Shado who could personally rescue two ordinary citizens. When this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but worry whether the Lord would encounter other territories because of such generosity and kindness.
of rejection.
At this moment, Jabas's mind was in chaos, including the confusion of having just been released from the petrified state, and the confusion of worrying about the future of the territory. He didn't even notice that there was one less person in the camp.
It wasn't until Shado asked again that Jabas was awakened from his personal trance. He broke out in a cold sweat and stammered:
"Sir, what did you say?"
"..."
Xia Duo was a little speechless. He had been crying just now, but now he was in a daze again. That is to say, after meeting him, if he met other lords, he would definitely punish Jabas for the crime of misconduct.
In fact, if Bishop Ambril was still here just now, the bishop would have detailed Jabas's crimes without Shado opening his mouth. In that case, even if Shado did not want to punish, in order to take care of the bishop's face and belief,
Jabas also had to be punished.
Fortunately, Bishop Ambril just saw that both Jabas and his son had recovered, so he proposed to lead them around in Daxia, otherwise it would be difficult for Jabas now.
Shado repeated the question he just asked and asked Jabas, "What did you find in the ruins? Why was it petrified? Is it because of the scale statue at the end of the passage that has not been excavated yet?"
"Sir, I only found some fragments of clay tablets with some unknown inscriptions, and the statue of the scale creature. As for why it was petrified-"
Jabas showed a blank expression, "I don't know either. If adults hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that I was petrified. I just felt something was wrong at that time, and then I suddenly lost consciousness. It turned out that I was petrified!"
Speaking later, Jabas showed a fearful look, not only because he was petrified in the ruins, but also because after being petrified, ordinary people like him had extremely little hope of being rescued.
Seeing that Jabas couldn't find any useful information, Shado decided to go and see it himself, so he said: "Jabas, now I will give you two teams of people to excavate the ruins as soon as possible, you know!"
The population of the territory has increased now, and although it is still being developed, since there are indeed ruins there, and there are indeed things in the ruins, it is not a problem to temporarily dedicate two teams of people to excavate the ruins.
As for the risk, now Xia Duo is confident that he can eliminate petrification by collecting some details of the petrification magic. Even if he can't do it himself, he can still ask Bishop Ambril for help.
As for other dangers, even if we do not consider the ancient relics that may exist in the ruins, they may still have research value. Just because this ruins is in the core of the future territory, Xia Duo has no choice but to deal with it to avoid more disasters in the future when the population is larger.
Serious disaster.
If he hadn't discovered or confirmed it before, he could have pretended that there was nothing and continued to develop and build on this land. But now that it was confirmed that there were ruins, Xia Duo couldn't turn a blind eye.
After Shado's instructions, although Jabas was a little worried about the unknown dangers in the ruins, he immediately agreed.
In response, Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction. Having such subordinates really made him worry less, so he was generous:
"Forget it for today, just stay here and take care of Pork. Starting from tomorrow, dig out the ruins as quickly as possible for me! Ask Jeff from the development department for manpower, and I will ask him to leave enough manpower for you.
"
After saying that, Xia Duo left the temporary camp and then the military camp without waiting for Jabas to answer.
…
Linshui Village, canteen.
Here, Chateau found Bishop Ambril, who was tasting braised pork and eating steamed buns. Chateau then remembered that it was already past noon, and he had forgotten to arrange lunch for the hard-working Bishop!
However, seeing the bishop munching on meat and steamed buns, Xia Duo's apology subsided slightly.
He stepped forward and said, "Bishop, what do you think of the food in Daxia?"
"Hmm - very good! This cooking style reminds me of a delicious meal I had in Cormanso when I was young. It is somewhat similar, but not as delicious as yours! If only that elf girl knew that human chefs can also make such delicious food
If I eat too much food, she will definitely rip off those long ears for me!"
Bishop Ambril said with great nostalgia.
However, Xia Duo did not answer these words. The bishop's tone seemed to have something to do with the elf, but in the end they were not able to get together.
"If the bishop likes it, he can send someone over to study. I think Cook will teach with heart!"
As soon as Xia Duo said these words, Cook on the side hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, I will teach with all my heart, never hide my secrets, and guarantee the people sent by the bishop of the church!"
"this--"
Ambril saw that Shado didn't seem to be joking, but was speaking very seriously. He hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Then thank you Lord Shado."
"The bishop is so polite. The bishop helped me a lot today. I just don't know how to thank the bishop! It's just some cooking methods. Don't take it to heart!"
In fact, strictly speaking, Xia Duo, who is married to Niya, can be regarded as the superior of Bishop Ambril, and can completely order him to come and do things, but in reality, human relations cannot be completely so mechanical and indifferent.
Furthermore, Xia Duo also hopes that the cooking methods and techniques of his hometown will be spread, and it would be best if they become popular in the world!
